Can Baltimore Orioles Slugger Chris Davis Maintain His Hot Start?

Starting last season, Chris Davis has basically come out of no where to become one of the best power hitters in the game. He emerged last season in his first full season as a Baltimore Oriole, he hit 33 home runs and 85 RBIs.

Matt Wieters Is Good At Baseball

The other day on the radio, I heard some argument as to whether or not the Orioles should sign Matt Wieters to a $10 M a year contract. The part that got me was that even the people in favor seemed to assume that Wieters would take such a deal. When I expressed that idea, I received a fair bit of push-back - it seems like people don't think that Wieters is actually that good...

Orioles rumors: Baltimore seeking top starting pitcher

The Baltimore Orioles’ winning ways have carried over from last season, as the team is currently in the mix for the top spot in the American League East.

The Baltimore Orioles’ Rotation… Now What?

Wei-Yin Chen is expected to go on the DL with a strained oblique, leaving the Orioles with just two members of their original rotation. With an already average starting rotation at the beginning of the year, the Baltimore Orioles could hardly afford to lose many arms, particularly this early in the season. But with Wei-Yin Chen expected to go on the disabled list Tuesday with...

Chen and the Starting Pitching

The Baltimore Orioles had another successful weekend, taking yet another series against the Miinnesota. They won two out of three games, thanks to the offense and work by the bullpen. The starting pitching has not been great; however, on Sunday, Wei-Yin Chen was rolling and perhaps headed another brilliant performance until the fifth inning. Towards the end of the frame, Chen...

Adam Jones' line-drive HR lands in upper deck

Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles smashed a line drive home run during the O’s 6-0 win over the Twins on Sunday, but upon further review it wasn’t that normal.

Baltimore Recalled LHP Michael Belfiore from Triple A

The Baltimore Orioles have recalled left-handed pitcher Michael Belfiore from Triple-A Norfolk to take the place of Steve Johnson. Belfiore’s stay may be quick if he pitches like he did in Norfolk. He was throwing a 5.52 ERA over 14 innings of work. But he also struck out 17 over those 14 innings and will be used in middle relief. As a lefty, he may be brought in to work one batter...

Brian Roberts Injury and the Future of 2nd Base for the Orioles

(Kim Klement, USA TODAY Sports) News has come in that Brian Roberts will have surgery to repair a hamstring tendon behind his knee.  As an Oriole fan it’s hard to watch one of your favorite players fall apart.  Brian was a excellent lead off guy who could steal a base when needed, maybe one of the best to steal 3rd.  While having good speed, he wasn’t a blazer like Ricky Henderson...
